This Veritas Scraping Plane review is about the scraping plane
made by Veritas Tools of Canada. This plane is also referred to as the
Veritas Scraper Plane.
The Veritas Scraping Plane is a 9 1/2" long scraper plane with a large
sole surface area to help ensure a flat surface is acheived.
The Veritas scraper plane has a stress-relieved ductile cast-iron body
which is fitted with an adjustable frog, a hardwood handle, hardwood
front knob and a 0.055" thick high-carbon steel blade.
The blade as standard is 2 7/8" (73mm) wide with a 45 degree cutting
edge.
Many users like rounding the edges of the scraper blade as this aids
in helping prevent grooves/ridges in the piece of timber being worked
which otherwise may be caused by the blade corners.
There are two optional additional Veritas scraper blades available,
one is a 1/8" (0.125") thick A2 tool steel blade and the other is a
1/8" (0.125") thick A2 tool steel toothed blade; the toothing is a set
of v-pointed teeth set at 25tpi (teeth per inch).
The thicker scraper blade is better suited to more challenging wood
grains.
All blades are hardened to RC48-51.
The adjustable frog mechanism allows the blade to be set at a chosen
angle between 0 - 25 degrees.
To increase the depth of cut you simiply use the mechanism to tilt the
blade further and further forward.
This plane weighs 4lb.
The Veritas Scraping Plane in made in Canada by Veritas Tools (unless
the box says otherwise).
The Veritas Scraping Plane appears to have heavy influences from the
old Stanley 112 Scraper Plane.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
